A member asked:
Recently i've found myself very sexually active with multiple partners daily. would taking doxycycline daily be reasonable to prevent std's?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes...and No...: There are many sexually transmitted infections: Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Syphilis, Herpes, HIV, Hepatitis, Trichomoniasis, Human Papiloma Virus... There is some evidence that daily Doxycycline will help prevent the first 3: Gonorrhea,Chlamydia and Syphilis but not the rest. Changing your lifestyle and using condoms will help with the others. Best wishes!
